Georgetown, Guyana - The 2014 Hand in Hand Insurance second- division 40-over cricket competition, organised by the Berbice Cricket Board for clubs in West Berbice, has progressed with D’Edward, Hopetown United, Acheivers, Blairmont Community Centre, Golden Elperbell and Rainbow Generation all advancing to the second round.

The round was dominated by the bowlers with no batsman being able to get past 33. Off-spinner Vishal Bejai did very well for Bath, when he took 6-30 from seven overs to help restrict D’Edward to 123 in 25 overs. His effort however, ended up being in vain as his team fell for 95 in reply.

Off-spinner Joel Dilchand of Bush Lot Challengers took 4-30 to help his team bowl out Blairmont Community Centre for 103. However, Blairmont off-spinner Karandat Bissoondial with 5-21 from 6.1 overs and Shabbir Baksh with 4-11 from seven overs were outstanding as Bush Lot Challengers were dismissed for just 55.

After Hopetown United made 166 in 23 overs against Ithaca Rovers, their leg-spinner Akeem Mc Pherson took 5-12 from seven overs and medium-pacer Emerson Benjamin 3-5 from seven overs to skittle out Ithaca for a paltry 35 in response.

Other bolwers with four-wicket hauls were Darius Nedd of Acheivers, Joshua Hamid of D’Edward Warriors and Kenroy Fraser of Golden Elperbell. Below are the summarised scores from the games played.
